Using generative AI in it’s current form for any kind of production-quality work is a massive mistake. Anyone can tell from miles away when your images or text have been generated, they always have a weird homogeneity that shaves off all the hard edges, both in writing and visuals. We all need to understand though, that it WILL take a new shape, that the progress is inevitable. The things we’re annoyingly surrounded by right now are just the whispers of what the near future has in store.
I have been speaking out against the use of AI for “art” or writing for a while. I have screamed at users that they’re in a bubble. I have shaken reality to singularity-bros and I’ve been called a boomer, a luddite and all the names in the book for trying to tell people they’re being conned so that huge companies can milk them with slightly better and slightly better models for years and years.
But through this whole time, I have been following the industry and testing different models. We’re so cooked. Our species cannot handle what’s coming. It’s a ways away still but it’s going to totally upend our civilization and about the only thing that can stop it will be a complete societal collapse. Right now, I see either option as equally likely. I’m thinking a 10 - 15 year projection before things start getting really surreal/tragic.

Time will tell, if nothing else.
I think the tech has merit, but not nearly to the extent that companies are investing into it right now.
It’s moving so fast that it’s going to be hard to curb it when things start going wrong.
Here comes sky net? I guess?
